I don't think this is automatic is it? So you have to save each page you want

Oh, true, I missed that.

In chrome it would be quite trivial to tail the history read from the sqlite db and get the latest url, and frankly something like Archivebox would be more powerful (truly grabbing all resources). Unfortunately in Firefox it's not possible to tail the history without unlocking the database, so the solution would be slightly more hackish but still feasible.

For illustration, this is the script I use to grab Chrome history:

  profile=$HOME/.config/google-chrome/Default

  sqlite3 "file:$profile/History?immutable=1" \
    "select datetime(last_visit_time/1000000-11644473600, 'unixepoch'), url from  urls order by last_visit_time asc"
It would be pretty easy to use `watch` or `inotifywait` to do this regularly and call Archivebox with the new urls.
